HUMBOLDT, Saskatchewan — Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Justice said Monday one of the deceased in the crash that killed 15 people en route to a hockey playoff game was misidentified.
The ministry said the body of Parker Tobin was mistaken for that of Xavier Labelle. It said Labelle is injured but alive, and Tobin is among the deceased.
The Office of the Chief Coroner has apologized for the misidentification. The ministry did not say how the error occurred.
“This was an identification error and Xavier is not deceased,” the statement said.
“Our condolences go out to the family of Parker Tobin. Unfortunately, Parker is one of the 15 that have lost their lives in this terrible tragedy. Parker had been misidentified and was previously believed to have survived.”
